(click here to read my journal entry for today)
the temple at Kom-Ombo
Osmond, our tour guide, at the temple to Sobek playing cards (a HUG favorite past-time) on board the ship some of the girls on the carriage ride to Edfu
the front of the temple at Edfu, shaped like two mountians with the sun rising in the center
Becca and Erika in our carriage Kelly, Bolls, Allison and Mark flying by us. the massive temple at Edfu from the back
Bolls is such a poser...
the central portion of the temple, which is dedicated to the god Horus
The temple took 25 years to build and another 160 years to complete the carvings and paintings on its walls! looking up in the entryway--a lot of the original color can still be seen here
a close-up of some of the hieroglyphic carvings on the columns inside the holiest of holies...the main alter in the temple at Edfu
Osmond working his magic inside the dark interior of the Edfu temple a shot of the columns inside...don't you love the lighting concept they've designed?
some pictures just speak for themselves...
dancing off that huge dinner we just ate...
Mark, Daniel, Erika, Becca, me and Jeremy in our get-ups for the "galabria party" on board
a local with us in front of a statue of Horus out front...
the Ju Go Ju girls getting their groove on
Jeremy doing his "hip-thrust-potato-push" maneuver
Jesus (aka Tricky) with Brandon and Nic
Christian and Dr. Edwards with Bolls...very Egyptian looking, eh?
